Answer:
tectonic plates move in opposite direction
Tectonic plates are not necessarily moving in opposite directions, but if there directions are different they form plate boundaries. If they were moving in the same direction they would become the same plate. The more opposite the direction, the more obvious the fault.
Examples of plate boundaries:
Divergent: moving away from each other - mid-Atlantic ridge
Convergent: moving towards each other - the Himalayas (Indian plate subducting under the Eurasian plate forcing up the mountains)
Transform: sliding laterally along each other - San Andreas fault
The resultant of the two forces is about 170 N.
<h3>What is the resultant force?</h3>
The term resultant force has to do with the single force that has the same magnitude and direction as two or more forces acting together.
In this case, the both forces are acting in the forward direction. This implies that the resultant force is 90 N + 80 N = 170 N.
